Synopsis
In My Life on a Plate, bestselling author, India Knight explores the unspoken and, often, comic truths of modern marriage that women everywhere will recognise.
‘Made me laugh out loud. Does for divorcees what Bridget Jones’s Diary did for singletons’ Lynn Barber, Daily Telegraph
‘Brilliantly funny’ Vogue
‘The funniest novel of the year. Clara Hutt is a self- deprecating, size-16 mother of two boys, and married to a magazine journalist who may or may not have bodily functions, or so Clara begins to wonder after eight years of not-so- happy marriage. Her friends are mad, anorexic and/or single, and her mother is hilariously hateful. A brilliant take on modern matrimony’ Evening Standard
‘A sharp, witty novel…groundbreaking in women’s fiction in that it attempts to investigate modern marriage: what it does to women, to their sex drive and their sense of self’ Marie Claire
‘That rare thing: the lightweight comic novel that is well written, neatly constructed and actually funny’ Alex Clark, Guardian
‘A comic tour de force’ Daily Telegraph
In addition to My Life on a Plate, Sunday Times columnist India Knight is the author of two hilarious novels, Comfort and Joy and Don’t You Want Me?, The Thrift Book – a guide to spending less, but living just as much, and Neris and India’s Idiot-Proof Diet and its accompanying cookbook – Neris and India’s Idiot-Proof Diet Cookbook.Follow India on Twitter or on her blog at http://indiaknight.tumblr.com.
